Artificial Neural Network Determines Consistency Of Paper Stock
Microwave sensors can be applied to a variety of industrial measurement problems. Often, however, it is necessary to sift through large amounts of data in order to extract the parameter of interest from a given sensor's output. At Baylor University in ...
Radio-Frequency Measurements Target DVB-T And DVB-H
Efficient use of available spectrum is a driving factor for increasingly advanced digital modulation of RF channels. Those modulation formats can be classified in numerous ways. For example, modulation can be considered as being over a single carrier or ...
VCXO Delivers 0.28 ppm Frequency Stability
Many Wireless and Wire-Line communications applications demand high-performance frequency stability in a miniature package. Examples include cellular infrastructure, point-to-point radios, and broadband access and test equipment. Such applications may ...
Digital Synthesizers House 14-b DACs
A line of direct-digital-synthesizer (DDS) integrated circuits (ICs) uses digital technology to synthesize waveforms in frequency-agile applications. These ICs flaunt on-chip, 14-b digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Impressively, the AD9910 and AD9957 ...
Tower-Mounted Amplifiers Boast 12-dB Gain
The Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) band offers many opportunities for broadband wireless data applications. To provide fast time-to-market in the deployment of such services, a new series of tower-mounted amplifiers (TMAs) has been spawned. The ...
New Spectrum Analyzers May Revolutionize Spectrum Management
ADVANCED SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT is currently evolving in terms of how it is being accomplished. Both spectrum-management and RF signal-monitoring applications have special equipment requirements, which tend to go beyond the typical radio receiver or ...
GPS Sensors Acquire Signals Down To 155 dBm
Despite the many advances of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, it is still difficult to acquire and track signals in weak signal areas. To combat this problem, the CW45A and CW46 GPS sensors flaunt the capability to acquire satellites at ...
Linear Amplifier Covers 20 To 2500 MHz
Miltary applications demand extreme ruggedness from their components. A solid-state, Class AB linear amplifier promises to meet these tough requirements while delivering solid performance. In a single module, the model BME27258-50 operates over the full ...
Top Products of 2006
To celebrate the innovations of the past year, this list provides a representative sampling of the industrys outstanding new components, integrated circuits, and measurement solutions.
MMIC Receivers Span 7 To 28 GHz
Some products integrate components to give engineers space-saving advantages. For example, nine gallium-arsenide (GaAs) monolithic-microwave-integrated-circuit (MMIC) receivers integrate low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), I/Q mixers, and local-oscillator ...
